Bex Carter 7

Ages 10 and up/ 150 pages - Aunt Jeanie has given Bex a challenging ultimatum--she has to learn to get along with Ava Groves or Bex can forget about her much-anticipated trip to Australia. It may sound easy enough, but Bex and Ava have been enemies since the first grade. Will they ever be able to get along without killing each other? On top of that, the eighth graders of Lincoln Middle School are preparing to graduate. Unfortunately, Ava has taken over the Graduation Committee and is ruling with an iron fist. Bex has her hands full trying to keep Ava from ruining their graduation, figuring out why her very first boyfriend is all of a sudden acting so weird, and coming to terms with the fact that her life is going to change once she and her friends head off to high school. How is one girl supposed to handle it all?
